This species, of which the type is in the Indian Museum, is, 

 as Slater has pointed out, a true Ixalus. It was probably obtained 

 in the first instance in the Dawna Hills inland from Moulmein. I 

 took a specimen at an altitude of about 3000 ft. on the western 

 side of that range in rgo8. 



There is no conical papilla on the tongue. A noteworthy 

 feature is the prominence of the warts on the upper eyelid. The 

 colouration is probably variable, my own specimen being much 

 browner than Stoliczka's. 



Ixalus chalazodes, Giinther. 



Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher recently presented to the Indian 

 Museum a specimen he had taken in the Anamalai Hills at an 

 altitude of 4000 ft. It agrees well with examples from Beddome's 

 collection labelled simply " S. India." 



Ixalus glandulosus, Jerdon. 



This is much the commonest species of the genus at moderate 

 heights in the hills of Southern and South-western India. I have 

 recently examined specimens from the following localities in the 

 Western Ghats: — Satara, Kachal, Taloshi and Tambi (2000-2100 

 ft.) and Mahableshwar (4200 ft.) in the Satara district of the 

 Bombay Presidency ; also from INIacara in Coorg and the Anamalai 

 Hills (4000 ft.). These specimens were taken by Messrs. F. H. 

 Gravely, vS. P. Agharkar and T. Bainbrigge Fletcher. 



Ixalus annandalei, Boulenger.

 VIII, p. 16, pi. iii, fig. 2 (1912). 



The tadpole of this species closely resembles that of Rhacop- 

 horus macula fus himalayensis,^ together with which it is often 

 abundant in pools of rain-water in the neighbourhood of Kurseong 

 during the "rains." It may be distinguished by the following 

 characters : — 



1. The pigment is paler and more evenly disposed. 



2. The tail is relatively shorter and much deeper at the base 



and tapers more abruptly at the tip. It has a broadly 

 lanceolate form as a whole. 



3. The upper profile of the head and body forms a more 

 even curve.
